Happy Groundhog’s Day! Benefit for Bill tonight! Big Smith in Hot Springs, Fort Smith this

is TONIGHT at our beloved Patton Alley Pub
in Springfield, MO! Patton Alley will be the place to be tonight,
y’all—tons of your friends, music, and the silent
auction has turned out to be quite a spread! I would like to give a special “thank you” to Dallas Jones for organizing and planning this event—he has gone
above and beyond! Also to Dave Harp and the Patton Alley Pub for hosting and doing sound, among other
things! Finally, I would like to thank all of the musicians, businesses, and
vendors who have generously donated to the silent auction. What a great time this is going to be! The concert will start at 6:00 p.m., and WOW,
we have a lot of wonderful musicians who are going to be performing. Two stages!
There will be a $10 suggested donation at the door,
and 100% of the proceeds of this and the silent auction will go toward Bill’s
medical bills. Be sure to click on our Facebook

this weekend Big Smith has two more farewell shows
this weekend that we are excited to be heading down south for. Hello, Arkansas, we’ve missed you! First up will be Maxine’s
in Hot Springs tomorrow (that’s Friday) night.
If you’ve never been to Hot Springs, you’re missing out—it’s beautiful,
quaint, historic, and it has a happening nightlife scene at this local watering
hole. Last time I was at Maxine’s, I had
a blast and danced all night—it’s a fun place to see music! Big Smith starts at 9:30 p.m. This
